A bullet lodged in his brain is the reminder Jose Guajardo, 19-year-old S.A. youth, has of narrow escape from death. Guajardo received the wound on May 20, when he and his sweetheart, Romana Trejo, were found at Laredo and Vera Cruz streets, each suffering from pistol wounds. The arrow shows location of the lead pistol bullet, where it lodged in his head near the right temple without breaking a bone. "I had just as soon not have it," he said, "but doctors say it would be too dangerous to operate to try to remove the bullet." Doctors say it is lodged is such a way that to operate for its removal would necessitate breaking bones in his head. Published in the San Antonio Light June 8, 1928.
